What is Trading Standards?
Trading Standards is the network of local-authority enforcement officers responsible for fair trading, product safety, weights and measures, age-restricted sales and consumer protection in the UK. National coordination is provided by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI). Citizens Advice operates the consumer helpline (0808 223 1133) and refers cases to Trading Standards where appropriate.
